from Rugby Rivals - Sir John Kirwan & Victor Matfield · host Sportscafe Media

We dive deep into the rise of 20-year-old flanker Henry Pollock, and ask is it fair to compare his skill-set to Ardie Savea? Jim gives his take on whether he’s ready for a starting position in the Lions jersey, while JK and Victor clash over whether hybrid players are ruining rugby. From bomb squad blow-ups to Finn Russell vs. Johnny Sexton, and whether there should be a 'Golden Point' rule in the Lions series - this episode is packed with strong opinions and passionate debates about the hottest topics in the rugby world.
